Purple Team Assessment Scope
Technique Validation
Run adversary techniques in a controlled way; validate that detections fire.
Detection Tuning
Reduce false positives and tune rules with real attack data.
Gap Analysis
Identify where coverage is missing and prioritize improvements.
Red + Blue Alignment
Shared language and outcomes for both teams.
We combine red team and defensive experience so your purple team assessment delivers real detection and response improvements. Often run alongside or after penetration testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a purple team assessment?
A purple team assessment brings red team (attack) and blue team (defense) together. We run real adversary techniques against your environment while your defenders watch and tune. The goal is to improve detection and response, not to 'win'—everyone succeeds when gaps are closed.
How is purple team different from red team?
Red team is adversarial and often stealth-focused. Purple team is collaborative: we execute techniques, share what we're doing, and work with your SOC or blue team to validate and improve detections. It's ideal when you want to stress-test and improve your security controls without a full red team engagement.
When should we do purple team vs red team?
Purple team is great when you're building or maturing detection and want to tune rules and close gaps with direct feedback. Red team is better when you want an unbiased, full-scope assessment of how well your organization would detect and respond to a real adversary.
